PSA: The Switch has USB Keyboard support
-
If you plug in a USB keyboard, either via usbc or through the dock USB ports, it Just Works! Makes using the browser a lot easier, and combined with the dock + controller makes for a decent computer-like experience.
Unfortunately a mouse doesn't seem to do anything.

Pinning this topic, every time I use a USB keyboard on the Switch it works better than expected, and I feel it's still not widely known.
-
I've always tried to get a mouse/usb drive to work on it. I don't know why...
-
both keyboard and mouse is supported on switch, just not for every game, the mouse works in the game "game builder garage" I tested that once. I think fortnite has full keyboard and mouse support on switch but idrk, I don't play that game
-
Reminder that this exists and still works well! Everytime I use this feature it surprises me. You can basically use it like a touchscreen laptop with the kickstand and a usb keyboard.
Switch 2 takes it even further, as you can use the joycon as a mouse too.
